Please make the Export Window SIMPLE Again

Is there a way to remove all of the "YouTube", "Vimeo", etc. options from the side?  They are completely useless.  Save that for Premiere Rush or something.

Pro editors know what settings we want for export.  I've made several presets, but I don't understand why each time I go to export a new sequence (not duplicated from another sequence that I haven't already used a preset for) it defaults to 720x480 25fps!  WHY?!  

Even when the dropdown menu says my preset is selected with a checkmark, it still defaults to t0 720x480.  I have to re-select one of my presets to have it switch to it correctly.

I've tried digging deep and removing all of the codecs I don't need or want but it still doesn't work.

 

Please, please go back to how simple it was not too long ago when Exporting was dead simple and would default to the last used preset no matter what.  I must waste at least 30 minutes combined each day reselecting my preset export settings.

 

For the next major upgrade, please also make the Project setup window like it used to be, it is so unnecessarily busy now.

 

Thank you, rant over, for now.

No, that is incorrect; it opens Adobe Media Encoder, which is not the same.  I use Compressor instead as I have more control of my settings.

I wish I could still use Quicktime Pro, that was the fastest and easiest way to compress prores to pretty much anything except an mp3.

Use CTRL+shift+M: this will take you directly to AME where you can use the old fashioned export window.
